> Any opinions on Dawes Audax 02 or 03. 02 looks good value at the moment
I bought the 02 at the end of last year when Evans cut the price to £600 from £800 and am quite
pleased. I only had an old Kona MTB, so the intention was for the Dawes Audax to be a road bike
which could also be used for occasional touring. So far it's only been used for road training and
it's a little heavy and low spec components for the "full" price, but is still a joy to ride. The
tyres are not very good though (Schwalbe Blizzards) and puncture a hell of a lot (rear tyre went
4 times in 3 weeks), but since I've changed to Conti Duraskins I've not had a puncture yet
(several months).
Hope this helps
